The development of cybercrime in Indonesia shows increasing complexity that is no longer uniform, but rather influenced by the characteristics of digital risks that differ in each region, such as the level of internet penetration, information technology infrastructure, digital economic activity, human resource capacity, and community vulnerability to various forms of cyberattacks. However, the current model of cyber law enforcement in Indonesia still tends to be centralized through a centralized coordination pattern, which has implications for limited institutional responses to the dynamics of cybercrime that are developing rapidly and contextually at the regional level. This condition raises issues about the effectiveness of law enforcement because the characteristics of cyber threats in urban areas, industrial areas, border areas, and areas with low levels of digital literacy have different risk patterns, requiring a more adaptive institutional approach based on local needs. This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of the current centralized model of cyber law enforcement in addressing the characteristics of regional-based cybercrime in Indonesia and to formulate an ideal decentralized model of regional-level cyber police based on regional digital risks to strengthen the effectiveness of cyber law enforcement in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and comparative approach through an analysis of cyber law regulations, police institutional policies, the theory of decentralized law enforcement, the concept of risk-based governance, and the development of national cybersecurity policies. The results of the study indicate that the current centralized model of cyber law enforcement has weaknesses in the form of slow responses to regional-based digital incidents, limited regional cyber risk mapping, low early detection capacity at the regional level, and less than optimal integration between digital intelligence, cyber investigations, and local community-based prevention. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct the decentralized model of cyber police at the regional level based on regional digital risks through the formation of adaptive regional cyber police units, regional digital risk classification systems, strengthening vertical-horizontal coordination, and the integration of surveillance and rapid response technologies to realize cyber law enforcement that is more responsive, effective, and oriented towards protecting the digital security of the community.
